    Thank you for double wrapping the books! They arrived yesterday and when I saw that one of the corners was pushed out of the plastic my heart sank... BUT since they were also wrapped in the paper sack, there was zero damage to those corners. The books were in great condition, as described. Thank you!

    It is exactly as pictured! I’m so happy and grateful to have this set in matching hardcover! Thank you seller! It just came today and it came early. It was packaged well and there are no damages at all and I immediately put it on my bookshelf! I always wanted to finish this series ever since high school and now I finally can! I have no idea why this particular set is hard to find and buy (especially to find the 1st few books that match the rest) so I am grateful to stumble across this listing.
